Elections 2025
Update at midday: Watch CompassTV live
Tune in to CompassTV’s midday update for the latest as Cayman heads to the polls.
Andrel Harris caught up with Elections Supervisor Wesley Howell who said he was pleased with turnout so far, which has seen some districts already break the 50% mark for turnout.
Howell also shared the average wait time is under 5 minutes for constituents to cast their vote.
He clarified children are not permitted within the polling station; the Compass had received conflicting reports earlier today about some people being permitted inside with children and others being prevented from doing so.

Update at 12:15pm: Complaints and issues
While reports from voters have almost universally praised the smooth sailing voting process, Elections Supervisor Wesley Howell has shared with the Compass they are aware of some issues so far.
These have included complaints about candidates and their agents spending too much time at polling stations, as well as some political signs remaining up – both of which are prohibited by elections rules.
Under Section 56 of the Elections Law, “no candidate and his agent, or two agents of the same candidate, shall be in the same polling station at the same time for more than fifteen consecutive minutes”.
